a111: Logged on 2017-08-21 22:31 asciilifeform: i don't much like
the phrase 'trusted nodes', when you connect
to
trb node, you get plaintext
tcp, and 0 guarantees re who or what you're actually
talking
to.
mod6: I don't
think
these belong permanently in
the SoBA each month. It would be probably a good idea for individuals who own
these nodes
to sign
their Node IP and send
that
to
the btc-dev mailing list. However, I seem
to recall some resistance
to
that.

to be worth a sparrow's fart.
spyked: valentinbuza, "Noise is a framework for crypto protocols based on Diffie-Hellman key agreement. Noise can describe protocols
that consist of a single message as well as interactive protocols." in what's a

that

their having

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-21#1701414 << empire is not organised
towards "protecting of
the proles" or any other statement with
the proles as a subject.
the proles (understood deductively, as "all people", just as
they understand govenment deductively, see prev discussion), as well as
the environment generally are
the objects, not
the subjects of imperial discourse.
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-22#1701761 <-- well, but. "won't somebody
think of
the children!"
this goes on and on. it never happens in fact (as
the avg gyppo in
the slums of bucharest -- or "banlieue", n'est-ce pas? -- can certify), but it happens in speech. hence attempt
to regulation
that only increases coefficient of friction in sane economic activity.

though i'll be damned if i can gather why it is
that -connect'ing
to 2+ nodes jams up every few hours whereas just 1 node sync beautifully with no issues for days on end.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-21#1701446 >> on second
thought, you probably could put
this chore off, olimex sells a ice40-8k (largest available) with 512k of sram glued on. and
this is
theoretically enough
to prototype .
the more pressing matter is ethernet. ( afaik nobody sells an ice40 + ethernetmagnetics . and just as with ddr dram, answer is 'lattice wants you
to use
their larger fpgas, with
THEIR
toolchain'
mircea_popescu: easy
to condemn
this as "a mistake retrospectively", especially if one has nfi what sort of demands an operational approach places on
the labour pool.

these folx simply got a hold of american raw dies and make a killing mounting

mircea_popescu: your parents being rich and your friendly relations with all
the elite of
the
town and generally your comfortable situation is a fucking baseline, not a high water mark, wtf is
this, peaking in highschool like african women ?
mircea_popescu: there's no particular requirement
that
the person building an ironclad factory does not own
the sailship drydock in
town. on
the fucking contrary ;
the sign of
the drydock owner ~being an idiot~ is
their not building an ironclad factory right down
the shoreline.
